How Do Chemical Peels Work? Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate your skin in a controlled manner, where the top, damaged layer peels off and gives you smooth, clear, even-toned skin. Dermatologists use chemical solutions like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, etc, based on your skin type, concern, and severity. Chemical peels are of three types: mild, medium, and deep. Skin Concerns Treated By Chemical Peels Chemical peels can help treat a range of skin concerns. Here is a list: Acne Acne Scars Uneven Skin Tone Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) Melasma Sun Damage Rough And Dull Skin Enlarged Pores Types Of Chemical Peels in Pune Shakti Krupa Clinic dermatologists recommend chemical peels after thoroughly analysing the client’s skin type, concern, and severity. The peels are divided into three types based on their strength and penetration capacity. 1) Mild or Surface-Level Peels: These peels, as the name suggests, work to gently exfoliate the top-most layer of the skin. The peels contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) and address concerns such as mild acne, uneven skin tone, mild post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, light wrinkles, and superficial sun damage. They have little to no downtime. Common ingredients in these peels include glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. 2) Moderate Or Medium-Depth Peels: These peels use a slightly stronger acid, like trichloroacetic acid or glycolic acid, and exfoliate both the topmost layer and the layer beneath. These peels effectively treat light wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and a few types of acne scars. The downtime for these chemical peels is slightly longer, at least a week.
